LIULI Crystal Treasure Vase, White Yulan Luck, a Vase of Riches

The Collection: Dancing Blooms, Flying Fish, Spring Lights Converge 

Design Concept:

In springtime, the white yulan magnolia is China’s quintessential seasonal flower. In bloom, its scent is gently tantalizing; its blossoms classically beautiful. Often planted exclusively in imperial palaces, temples and residences of the affluent, the flower denotes luck and the power of affluence. In 2010, LIULI glass artists combined the studio’s signature pate-de-verre casting method with mouth-blowing techniques to create this collection of “bao ping” (or treasure vases). Symbolizing exuberant wealth, elegance and nobility, the yulan vase in particular shows the transformation of goldfish and flower. It flows in dream-like patterns, revealing a metamorphosis of beauty and grace.
